 |
If I have a column of cavalry can I turn the first unit without turning the others? If so does the rest of the column get shifted back to make space?
This came up in a game today when a column of cavalry moving behind a friendly infantry line was threatened in the flank. The lead unit wanted to charge but a wheel would have meant it charged a spear unit. Dong a quarter turn would have allowed it to attack a bow unit. If the whole line had turned then the other units would have run into their friendly infantry before any contact with the enemy. |

Are any of the units in a ZOC before they turn?
Assume not for the moment.
If you look at the diagram on p 30 the solution is the first unit turns. The 2nd unit moves behind it to allow room. Of course if this is a turn and charge the 2nd unit follows behind in the charge. |

if only the first unit turn and charge, the second is just moved back to allow the turn of the first unit:
AAA A
BBB becomes A
CCC A
BBB
CCC

OK there is no space in my diagramme 
but the point remains that you can push friendly unit not in contact with the ennemy to allow others friendly unit to make 1/4 turn.
